The urgent need for climate & health solutions.
Madagascar faces acute and interconnected climate, environmental, and public health challenges. The country is highly vulnerable to climate change, with increasingly frequent droughts, floods, and cyclones placing pressure on already fragile ecosystems and infrastructure.
At the same time, many rural communities lack reliable access to safe drinking water and depend on biomass fuels such as wood and charcoal for daily cooking. These conditions contribute to significant health risks, water-borne diseases and respiratory illness from indoor air pollution, while also driving deforestation and greenhouse gas emissions. Addressing these challenges requires solutions that tackle climate mitigation, climate adaptation, and public health simultaneously.
SaniTap's projects respond to this urgent need. By combining climate finance with practical interventions, safe water systems and improved cooking technologies, we deliver measurable emissions reductions while improving health outcomes, protecting natural resources, and strengthening community resilience.
Driving solutions: SaniTap's metrics.
In response to these urgent challenges, SaniTap develops scalable improved cooking, safe water, and nature-based climate projects that deliver high-integrity carbon emissions reductions alongside tangible health, environmental, and livelihood benefits.
US$ savings split: 5,865,665 from improved cooking and 9,200,000 from safe water.
Contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals.
SaniTap's improved cooking, safe water, and nature-based solution projects deliver substantial environmental, social, and economic co-benefits, contributing to seven UN Sustainable Development Goals.
By replacing fuel-inefficient and polluting traditional cooking methods, improved cooking projects significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and biomass fuel consumption. Beyond carbon reductions, improved cookstoves lower indoor air pollution, improving household health outcomes, particularly for women and children. Reduced fuel demand also alleviates pressure on biodiverse local forests while saving households time and money previously spent on fuel collection or purchase.
Restoration of safe drinking water access prevents unnecessary greenhouse gas emissions; reduces waterborne disease and death among vulnerable people, especially children below five; reduces deforestation; and enhances economic development over the long term. Nature-based mitigation projects, bamboo planting, biochar production, sequester carbon while slowing soil erosion, improving soil fertility, and generating meaningful socio-economic opportunities for local communities.
High integrity, open to scrutiny.
Impact only counts if the numbers behind it hold up. SaniTap develops credits to an integrity stack of six independent standards, each defending the credit against a different type of challenge, and publishes the technical parameters assessors and buyers need to verify them.
A single-standard credit stands or falls on one dimension. A stacked credit answers a challenge by pointing past it. If the methodology is questioned, the ICVCM Core Carbon Principles assessment stands on its own. If the monitoring is questioned, the independent sensor stream stands on its own. If the host-country claim is questioned, the Article 6 Letter of Approbation stands on its own.
Each layer is independently verifiable and defends the credit against a different type of challenge. The sum is more resilient than any single layer.
The right value, not the generous one
The fraction of non-renewable biomass is set at 54%, the subnational value for Toliary Province and the methodologically correct one. Only the non-renewable share of avoided biomass earns a credit.
Hardware evidence, not self-report
A third-party contractor runs continuous digital stove monitors across the programme. Usage is measured by sensors an entity SaniTap does not control, the highest tier in the Gold Standard order of preference.
Correctly applied, correctly labelled
Credits use Gold Standard TPDDTEC v4.0, confirmed CCP-eligible by the ICVCM. Every parameter and registry reference is published for assessors, with the underlying files available on request.
Sovereign endorsement on record
The Government of Madagascar has issued a Letter of Approbation, with third-party verification underway toward the Article 6 Letter of Authorisation that CORSIA transfer requires.
